Biography

The Allman Brothers are the band that defines the genre known as southern rock, which is best heard on their seminal live album At Fillmore East.

Formed by Duane Allman and Gregg Allman in 1969, they released an eponymous debut album that year which went down well with critics, but wasn’t a success with the public. Idlewild South (1970) was a little more radio-friendly, and another big hit with… Read more in Amazon's Allman Brothers Band Store

5.0 out of 5 stars A True Classic, November 17, 2008

This review is from: At Fillmore East [Vinyl] (Vinyl)
Every once in a while a magical moment is captured to be shared with everyone. This performance was one such occasion. I will not wax balefully about how good Duane Allman was because it wasn't just his show. The whole band was in the groove and this recording is a testimony to hard work and dedication to one's Craft.

What distinguished this band from others is that they ventured into a kind of Jazz/Rock fusion with "In Memory Of Elizabeth Read" at a time when Fusion was just beginning to get notice. It showed how truly talented the whole band was to be able to do this wonderful piece of music so well composed, and showed that instrumental music when done right is every bit as captivating as standard song forms.

Yes, the slide work Duane does here is on a par with pretty much nobody else because he was so good at it. Greg really shows his vocal and playing chops here, too. Great voicings. Dickey and the rest hold down their roles with consumate excellence in every song, whether soloing or comping behind whoever was soloing.

This is by far one of the best live recordings and we must be thankful to Bill Graham for having the insight to install the equivalent of a 16 track studio in the Fillmores East & West so these one of a kind performances could be captured. So a tip o' the hat to Bill Graham is needed here, too. Because without his foresight and decidedly progressive vision, we would have none of this to enjoy today.

5.0 out of 5 stars We are not worthy !, October 28, 2005
This review is from: Live at Fillmore East (Audio CD)
Words fail me,. . . almost. This is one of the ballsiest, bluseiest, rockingest albums ever. Duane Allman was a guitar GOD. At this point in his life Gregg Allman was the grittiest white blues singer I had ever heard. These tracks are pure gold and this maybe the BEST live album ever!

Every cut is good but Stateboro Blues still blows me away and I had never heard anything like Whipping Post before or still to this day. This was the band at it's best and sadly it never came close again.
